Chapter 201: Delivering Supplies Across Thousand Miles

"Shopkeeper Shen?"

Liu Yunyan bent his waist and shouted tentatively.

"Why did you come to Shuozhou City?"

Shen You raised her hand to greet him, and said with a faint smile, "I've received the money and am here to deliver the supplies to you. Please take a seat first."

Liu Yunyan opened her eyes wide, and a look of spirit appeared on her slightly tired face. In the past, she had been very careful about her food, clothing and daily expenses in the capital.
The situation back in the north was of course completely different. In recent days, she had experienced her father being framed and being besieged by foreigners. She was already exhausted both physically and mentally, and was ready to live and die with Shuozhou City.

Now comes the savior!

The savior seemed to be in a bad mental state.

Yes, it was difficult to understand this image of a man with disheveled hair, who looked just short of wearing prisoner uniforms, in ancient times.

Shen You opened the garage, which was full of vacuum-packed rice, as well as several large sacks of crushed corn and brown rice.

"So much food!" Liu Yunyan exclaimed. This side room was empty the last time she came!
Manager Shen got the food so quickly?!
Then, she thought of another important issue, firewood.

Shen You gave her a reassuring look and said, "I have both wood and coal here. You can find some more people to haul them outside later."

As he spoke, he lifted the flatbed and moved the wood from the warehouse to the yard.

There are also charcoal in sacks and neatly stacked honeycomb coal.

Liu Yunyan knew that the prices of coal and charcoal in Da Qi had skyrocketed and were out of stock everywhere, all because of the hoarding of goods by wealthy businessmen.

It would be difficult to buy so many things in a short period of time without spending a lot of money.

Moreover, she had never seen such a honeycomb type of coal before, with each piece of coal being straight and flat.

Coal was used in the Han Dynasty, and the Qi Dynasty also mined coal. Coal was the fuel used for iron smelting.

Therefore, people in ancient times knew that coal needed to be ventilated, otherwise it would cause poisoning, and there was no need for Shen You to remind them.

"My men are outside. Can you bring a trustworthy person in to arrange the transportation of supplies?" Liu Yunyan asked.

Shopkeeper Shen was a woman, and it looked like she had just gotten up. Uncle Zhou and the others were all men, and she was afraid of offending Shopkeeper Shen, so she added,

"You can also ask them to wait at the door first, and then come in after you have packed up."

"It's okay, just bring someone in, I'll just wash my face."

Shen You yawned, took out a peach wood hairpin that she often used, which was sturdy, cheap and could ward off evil spirits, from her pocket, and casually tied up her hair.

Liu Yunyan excitedly went out and went upstairs to wash up quickly.

"Uncle Zhou, come with me and I'll arrange for two trustworthy people to go back and tow the cart over."

Uncle Zhou looked at her in confusion.

Please ask the master to come out of the mountain, does the master want to ride in the cart?
Although he was doubtful, seeing that Liu Yunyan's breathing quickened with anxiety, he did not delay and gave the order immediately.

Afterwards, he followed Liu Yunyan and looked inside with caution and curiosity, wanting to see what the legendary master looked like.

Unexpectedly, I first saw the fuel piled in the yard, and in the side room, there were strange packaging bags piled all over the room, but I couldn't see clearly what they were.

"Second Miss, where did these things come from?" Uncle Zhou's cracked lips trembled slightly with joy.

The gates of Shuozhou were closed, and there were foreigners everywhere. How did they manage to bring so many things in without anyone noticing? !
"An expert brought her here. You can just call her Shopkeeper Shen."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhou thought: This title of expert is quite down-to-earth.

The door opened at this time, and in order to fit the character, Shen You changed into a light blue Song Dynasty Hanfu.

She was still very sleepy, and the supplies to Shuozhou City could not be delayed, so she cheered herself up, ground a cup of coffee and brought it downstairs.

The antique partition door opened, and the two people standing in the yard also looked over.

Uncle Zhou, who was wearing old armor over warm clothes, was stunned at first. He looked around and didn't see anyone else in the room, so he asked in a low voice, "Is she Shopkeeper Shen?"

Liu Yunyan: “That’s right.” Uncle Zhou hasn’t reacted yet. The master doesn’t look much older than his daughter.

When I was outside, I didn't see such a nice three-story house.

There are actually living trees in the yard.

Before being sent to the north along with Deputy General Liu, the saint was obsessed with cultivating immortals and refining elixirs, and there were many charlatans in the capital.

He is indeed a true master. He never pursues fame and fortune in front of others, but shows up when Shuozhou is in danger!
"Are these things for us?" Uncle Zhou looked at the supplies with eyes full of cherishment.

The veteran who had never been intimidated by the bloodthirsty and warmongering foreigners was almost moved to tears.

Liu Yunyan walked to Shen You with some concern, "Is the money my cousin gave me enough for so many things?"

After hearing this, Uncle Zhou calmed down a little. Yes, they didn't have so much money in Shuozhou City.

I don't know if I can buy on credit.
"That's enough. Don't worry. If it exceeds the limit, I will go to Beijing to collect the debt later." Shen You asked them to sit down for a while.

It will take some time to push the cart over.

Uncle Zhou had been in the North for a long time. He sat at the clean and elegant tea table, looking at the strange and beautiful objects in the store, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I'm a rough man, and I'm wearing..." He looked at his dirty clothes. Although he felt the room was warm, he still said, "Why don't we wait outside?"

"No, it's okay." Shen You poured hot water for them.

Uncle Zhou's eyes widened as he looked at the electric kettle.

That black board, you can put the kettle on it and get hot water without lighting the fire?!

"The supplies I brought you, in addition to the food and fuel from outside, also include some medicine."

Shen You took out a few items and told them how to use them one by one.

In addition to the anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and traumatic injury medicines that the military needs most, there is also frostbite ointment.

"This ointment can be applied directly to treat frostbite."

Food and coal are not expensive in today's world, but medicine these days is really not cheap.

"Are these things all from the Western Regions?" After hearing what Shen You said about the effects, Uncle Zhou couldn't tell whether he was excited or sighing.

Today was also an eye-opener.

He always thought that the Great Qi had developed very well in medicine, planting, textiles and other aspects, except for its military strength.

But I have never seen these elixirs that are said to have miraculous effects.

Liu Yunyan told him that the Liu family's seriously injured confidant was saved by these medicines when he came.

The elixir used to treat the previous epidemic was from the Western Regions.

There were some treasures in the palace and in the hands of the aristocratic families, but they, in the north, were not even qualified to see them.

Shen You smiled, "You can say that."

"I would like to thank Manager Shen on behalf of all the soldiers and people in Shuozhou City." Uncle Zhou said as he was about to stand up and salute Shen You.

Liu Yunyan took the initiative to stop Shen You, "Uncle Zhou, Manager Shen doesn't like these empty formalities."

Shen You nodded in agreement, "I have some better dry food here, a kind of cake, would you like to try it?"

This time she also restocked her stock of self-heating rice for outdoor military use, which has larger portions than the brands sold in ordinary supermarkets and is more portable in packaging.

But neither is large supply.

For Da Qi, the cost is too high, so it would be better to change the budget into rice, flour and compressed biscuits.

Instant noodles are also available. They are cheap but not very nutritious. They are okay if you want to improve the taste.
